An international expo on
energy-saving and green energy technologies and products, Enertec Expo
2011, opened in Ho Chi Minh City on Aug. 17.

Local
and foreign companies are showcasing their energy-saving and green
energy products at 150 booths during the four-day event, offering
consumers a wide range of choices.

Addressing the opening
ceremony, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Tuan Anh, said that
2011 is the first year that the country has applied the Law on Energy
Efficiency and Conservation. Enertec Expo is an important event to
promote the effective use of energy in line with the law, he said.

As
part of the expo, the organisers will hold several seminars on power
saving and solutions for renewable energy development. This will be a
good chance for both international and domestic firms to look into
possibilities of green energy development and cooperation.

There will be a contest aimed at encouraging young people to present their ideas and solutions to energy saving./.
